Pulling over an Oak trunk with a simple X-Ring MA system (an almost 2:1) for some extra insurance.

Good stuff! Better safe than sorry!

Enjoyed the video. Nice pull.

I really saw that front nub punching a big hole in the lawn, i mighta considered cutting that off or padding the drop zone with some brush (or both) but love the 2:1 with a ring, making a nice easy pull for your machine and limiting the stress on your rope. Love your channel and thanks for all the education over the years!

@blakeseidler3577 11 месяцев назад

Using the portawrap rather than a knot is also a clever way to reduce wear/stress on rope, I like that.

@therealsideburnz 11 месяцев назад

I could be wrong about this, but isn't the portion of the rope that is inside the ring seeing double the pulling force of the machine just like the ring/tree is?

@blakeseidler3577 11 месяцев назад

I have often been confused by that myself, but no, any time you are pulling on a loop of rope with both legs under tension, the breaking strength is roughly double the line strength.

Thank you

@arianvakili8964 9 месяцев назад

What type of rope was that blue and white one ? Was that vortex or epicord??

@Triplaglol 11 месяцев назад

What if the tree fell on the ring? Would it just be pushed into the ground or actually show some damage since its aluminum.

@TreeMuggs_PatrickM 11 месяцев назад

Not worried about it on grass, these rings are bomber. I wouldn't do it on a hard surface

@utar88utar 11 месяцев назад

ok, noob question : why didnt you continue cutting it (tree) piece by piece while still being on it in spikes? that way was faster? you plan to make some 2x4s out of it? i am no arborist. genuinely curious thou.

@TreeMuggs_PatrickM 11 месяцев назад

Plenty of room to drop the peg against the lean, and my feet were hurting from being in spurs for a few hours. The main trunk will be milled up into slabs. Thanks for watching - Patrick

That’ll do

@indianatreedinicolarossi2897 11 месяцев назад

Wrong way to do it. You are decreasing drastically the efficiency of the tackle effect for the sliding friction effect which dissipates an important amount of pulling force applied on the trunk by the pulling sistem; in friction… There are many ways to do it, but what are you showing does not have sense.

@MsLivestronger 11 месяцев назад

Well really, after the face cut is made, then back cut, its almost balancing but he needs a rope to be sure and hold it as it has back lean., how much force is needed to pull that peg over? Not a lot really. He's not skidding a 20 ton object here . Your tackle effect, sliding tension bullshit equation or whatever you think from your cubicle can piss off. Well done tree muggs!

This setup (using an x-ring instead of a rigging block or “pulley” or “tackle” depending on what you want to call a rigging block) gives nearly a 2:1 result. It is slightly less than 2:1 because of a small amount of friction. But the advantage is you’re using an x-ring instead of an expensive rigging block and achieving nearly the same forces - without risking damage to a rigging block. It’s a smart approach.
